Mexico

Incredible Flats Fishing just South of the Border.

If you like amazing flats fishing for the grand slam species close to home then the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico should be on your destination list. The Yucatan's pristine biospheres are made up of long flats, endless mangrove chains, and small islands that are home to schools of tarpon, permit, bonefish, and snook. Fabled locals like Ascension Bay, Espiritu Santo Bay, and Chetumal Bay get returning anglers laser-focused on catching the finicky permit while tarpon enthusiasts return to Campeche or Isla Blanca to hunt these baby and juvenile fish. Comfortable air-conditioned lodges or hotels will make your stay as good off the water as it is on the water. The ease of travel to Cancun makes this destination a must-see.
